JEAN-PAUL DEVILLE, BLANC DE BLANCS, CHAMPAGNE 6 Bottle Case, 75cl

A pale gold in the glass. On the nose, notes of citrus and exotic fruits. On the palate, precise and clean yet round and rich with further citrus fruit flavours. Great acidity leading to a lingering finish. Try with an avocado and asparagus salad, linguine, clams and fennel or sole goujons.

Based in Verzy, just 20 kilometers southeast of the capital of Champagne, Reims, Jean Paul Deville's 17 hectares of vineyards grow on a hillside, which maximises precious sun exposure in this Northern climate. This family run winery is now in its 5th generation and continue the tradition of producing wonderful champagne, which has an unusually high proportion of Pinot Noir, and prolonged ageing in bottle to add richness and texture. The winery also adheres to the VDC (Viticulture Durable en Champagne) certification. A great value, boutique Champagne from a lesser known producer.
